TL;DR: The X-ray structure of the Southampton norovirus 3C protease (SV3CP) bound to an active site-directed peptide inhibitor (MAPI) which has been refined at 1.7 Å resolution provides important new information for the development of antiviral prophylactics.

Ecotoxicity of climbazole, a fungicide contained in antidandruff shampoo.
TL;DR: It was found that the toxicity of climbazole is mostly similar to that of other DMI fungicides, whereas it proved to be particularly toxic to primary producers, and it was demonstrated here that for an ionizable compound such as climbingazole, the soil pH can have a considerable influence on phytotoxicity.

Relevance of nontoxigenic strains as surrogates for Escherichia coli O157:H7 in groundwater contamination potential: role of temperature and cell acclimation time.
TL;DR: Results of various bacterial characterization methods indicate that differences in cell attachment could qualitatively, but convincingly, be related to differences incell surface charge.

Effect of humic acid on the sorption of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS) on boehmite
TL;DR: The results revealed that the sorption of PFOS and PFBS on HA-modified boehmite is pH-dependent, and a conceptual model combining hydrophobic and electrostatic interaction was established to explain the Sorption behavior.

Protection of carbon steel corrosion in 3.5% NaCl medium by aryldiazonium grafted graphene coatings
TL;DR: In this paper, a modification of the surface of carbon steel using aromatic molecules was proposed to enhance the corrosion protection efficiency of the carbon steel by restoring the graphene surface defects and increasing its corrosion protection performance.
